This weapon injects a freezing cold ball of compressed gas, approximately the size of a basketball, at 800psi nearly instantly. The effects of this injection will drop many of the world\’s largest land predators. The effects of the compressed gas not only cause over-inflation during ascent when used underwater, but also freezes all tissues and organs surrounding the point of injection on land or at sea. When used underwater, the injected gas carries the predator to the surface BEFORE blood is released into the water. Thus giving the diver added protection by diverting other potential predators to the surface.
I can’t think of any sane reason to carry one of these.
(but then again, I don’t have any “predators” or an ex-wife to contend with)
@...MalcoveMagnesia: You never know when you’ll be attacked by a raging chimpanzee.
Wait, it releases enough gas to bloat a shark? enough to send it floating to the surface?
If it can turn a shark into a pufferfish, the effects on a possible human target would be… weird.
And you can actually buy one of these if you’re a professional diver? WTF?

Stab On You *explode*
I want one!
@...phaed: Weird? More like a painful but quick death. ><
Reminiscent of the Navy’s widely denied Swimmer Nullification Program. Large hypodermic needles were placed on dolphins heads. These needles could inject 2,000 psi instantly, effectively forcing an enemy frogman’s internal organs out of his orifices. It is rumored that heroin was used as an incentive to control the dolphins.
It pays to listen to punk rock, boys and girls.
Where can I get me one of these?
There aren’t enough font formats to properly express the “FUCK” that I want to say.
That is a sick, nasty, awful, gross, and inhumane way to kill someone. I mean, granted, I think that almost any kind of killing is pretty inhumane, but shit ass hell damn. I’d much rather get shot.
Well, it’s supposedly only for defense against large aquatic predators…
…
…MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA

WASP Injection Systems
Enjoy 😉
@...ieattime20: It’s kind of a result of necessity. Guns can jack up your ears underwater, harpoons are too large to be convenient, spearguns aren’t much better, and aren’t exactly a good defense against large aquatic predators…
A knife, on the other hand, is easy to carry around, and you’d dive with one anyway, so it makes sense to turn into a lethal weapon. And compressed gas is the ideal alternative to a powder based weapon…
I’m going to find three of these and take down a shark, a bear and a tiger.
@...actrivi: You only need one. You just replace the gas canister…
@Phyreblade
They’ll be pretty deeply embedded into the lil fellas… Maybe if I fashion some kind of harpoon-wasp-knife-gun/rocket launcher.
@...actrivi: For all that trouble, you might as well go for a heatseeking waterproof chainsaw launcher and be done with it…
@Phyreblade
I’ll start searching craigslist.
